health care requirements must be upheld
 
If abortion clinics are to be considered health care providers, they must operate under the same rules and regulations as any other health care provider. For what good reason would they be exempt? Safety requires that abortion clinics be held to the same standards. No one in good faith can further abortion clinics exemption from such rules as the results would be truly devastating.
